Back in January of 2018, KSI called out the Paul Brothers. Moreover, destiny had it for him to face the older brother, Logan Paul. The two fought each other twice after the hostility between them reached a fever pitch. However, they have put their rivalry well and truly behind them, and today they are business partners. However, the disdain and resentment towards Jake Paul is still there for the British YouTuber-turned-boxer even today. Although the fight between the two has not come to fruition, KSI’s upcoming bout is still a way to get one up on Jake Paul.

In February of this year, ‘The Problem Child,’ fought but got defeated by  Tommy Fury. Subsequently, KSI decided to fight the man who beat Paul and potentially beat him. However, will ‘The Nightmare’ be successful in his quest? KSI’s Former Trainer weighs in.

In the sport of boxing, size, reach, height, and weight play a pivotal role. In the upcoming fight, Fury is significantly taller and bigger combatant than KSI. Not to mention, Fury has more professional boxing experience than KSI. Bear in mind, ‘TNT,’ hails from a family of boxers and started to compete professionally long before the 30-year-old internet sensation. Subsequently, it may not come as a surprise that Fury is the betting favorite going into the bout.

However, if there is one thing we have noticed so far is that KSI thrives on pressure and has pulled out upsets in the past. Will his next fight result just like his previous fights? Only time can tell. But as the fight comes closer, people are voicing their opinion. According to his former trainer and friend, Viddal Riley, KSI has a tough challenge ahead of him but does not disregard his chances. In a post made by KSI news on X, Riley thinks that on paper, Fury seems likely to come out as the victor.

However, KSI fights in a very unorthodox way and with power. This style may cause Fury some problems and potentially give him his first defeat. He stated, “It’s a miracle for JJ to win but miracles happen, the one thing is JJ hits hard, he’s got actual swingers on him, and when you have that you have a chance”
